The Canadian Armed Forces has produced videos (which are found on their Website) videos which use traditional First Nations images to promote the Canadian Military. In some cases sacred images morph into military images such as tanks. Natives in kayaks and canoes morph into subs,a leaf that turns into an owl which turns into fighter jets.Is it just me or is this totally offensive. These are all peaceful images that are transformed into images of war. A war in which innocent civilians die.

Iran Pledge

Ryerson Students
Against War & Racism

Pledge for action against an attack on Iran
We the undersigned call on our government to actively oppose plans for an attack on Iran.
We believe that any attack on Iran would be a disaster for the ordinary people of that country and would massively increase instability across the Middle East and beyond.
In the event of escalation towards an attack we pledge to join a national campaign of action and protest.
We also pledge on the day of any attack to walkouts of school and mobilize for local protests in towns and cities across the country.

Don't Iraq Iran


On August 2, demonstrations took place in nearly 100 American cities to oppose war against Iran, part of a North American-wide day of action. In Canada, a number of cities also demonstrated to oppose war against Iran, including Toronto.

Please join us to say: "Don't attack Iran!" and "Stop the war before it starts!" As the US sinks deeper into quagmire in Iraq and Afghanistan, it will feel even greater pressure to expand the war to Iran. Be part of the mobilization to help stop another US-led war.
